Hors dude'Oeuvres: Jalapeno Popper Bites

As prepared by Girl Who Ate Everything,November 29, 2011

Need appetizer ideas for dudes who are watching the game? Try these spicy little bites to kick the game into overtime!

I like to think that I know the game of football pretty well and that I know men whose lives revolve around football even better. The majority of my life has been spent in bleachers or a living room watching hours on end of football games.

But almost as important as the actual game is the food eaten while watching the game. The criteria for dude-friendly football food is that it’s hearty (no salads here) and utensil free. Usually a fair amount of meat is involved, and if it burns your lips off and makes you jump for the nearest beverage, even better.

One of my favorite football appetizers is jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon but they are way too much work. Let me make an addition to the football food criteria -- it has to be easy to make. I can’t be missing out on any game time.
